vantage over all the world. Great Opportunities Are Elsewhere I. however, am not telling this story about the citrus industry just to boom Florida. I am telling it to show what a group of farmers can do by uniting in co-operatives and getting the help of research and advertising. The citrus industry has never had subsidies or price guarantees. It has fought its own battles without any limiting of 1 acreage or government loans on sur plus crops. When cannot the farmers of our ' Central West and South do the same | thing with their surplus corn, wheat, cotton, and other products? Henry Ford once said to me: “When the farmers wake up and quit crying on Uncle Sam's shoulders they can find a great use and market for their products as raw materials in industry.” Agriculture needs a great leader like Henry Ford and the national advertising which the hum ble citrus growers of Florida are giving their products.
